Embarking 101 for the Newbie
covers the most
important basics that you must master to take full
advantage of our machine. If followed correctly, all your embarked domains
will be built on a solid foundation. This foundation will richly
meet the minimum requirements needed for publishing,
and for allowing the DE system to deliver its BEST PUNCH to
each and every one of your embarked domain names.!
Keep this in mind: Domain Embarking is
not parking. Expect the surfing public to accept your
domains as REAL AND RELEVANT WEBSITES. For your own success,
(and ours) take a few minutes to really master the following
steps.....
Step 1:
Adding New Domain Name(s)
Press the
button
at the top right of your control panel to open window below.
1.Please
cut and paste one or more domain names (1 domain
name per line) IMPORTANT:
Correct entry: newname.com
Incorrect entries: www.newname.com or
http://www.newname.com
2. Press the ADD
NEW DOMAIN NAMES button when ready.
3.You will then see your domain
name(s) in your portfolio and may proceed to step
two.
Step 2.To
begin the embarking process click the small blue
edit link next to the domain
name you wish to embark or work on. The browser will open up
the minimum embarking level screen seen below. You will see
5 fields to edit before you can publish any domain name for
approval to go live.
Domain Name
(Auto-filled already)
Main Keyword
Secondary keywords
Choose category
Title field
BEFORE YOU GO ANY
FURTHER - Ask yourself:
What does this
domain name mean?
Then try to embark your site by
using the appropriate keywords, topics and
questions that compliment your domain name.IMPORTANT
Note: Remember, at DE we don't accept names that mean
nothing. ie: rt8dg1.com, and we don't accept trademarked
associated domains. ie disneyfilms.com We DO
accept acronyms and some misspells.
Step 3.
Main Keyword Field -
Enter the most relevant keyword or two-word
phrase for the domain name. THIS IS the most
important entry to get right. This keyword will be used to
populate the page in MANY ways. Things you should think
about when selecting this KEY-word are:
Will it find on-topic
pictures?
Will it find on-topic
videos?
Will it find on-topic
news articles?
Will it find on-topic
Wikipedia page?
Step 4. Second
Keyword Field -
Enter up to 1-4 more keywords and/or two-word
phrases separated by commas. These
keywords are used to fill in where you're number one
keyword falls short.
IMPORTANT KEYWORD RULES:
DO NOT
repeat your Main Keyword in the second keyword
field!
DO NOT use
all caps ie: Apple not APPLE!
Your keyword
should be capitalized ie: Apple not apple
Your keyword
should be singular not plural ie: Apple not
Apples
You may use a 2
word phrase. Do not capitalize the second word
ie: Apple pie not Apple Pie (Unless using a
proper name ie Jane Smith not Jane smith.)
If your keyword
is "auto" do not add "auto insurance" after it.
If "auto insurance" is your target, put it
first, then add "auto" after. The machine will
find all auto related words and phrases ie:
automobile, automotive, auto parts etc.
ONLY add 1-4
words in the second keyword field - The DE
machine creates your Meta Tag Keyword List
behind the scenes from several parts of your
entries. Stacking a long string of keywords in
the 2nd field does nothing but waste your time
by having to create lists, and it takes the
machine longer to embark.
Step 5.
Choose Category -
Select the best category that fits your name from
the category dropdown menu. This will help our
machine determine which 3rd party advertising to
place on your site.
Step 6.
Title Field - Type in the title of your web site. This
title will appear on your web site and should
contain the actual domain name in the sentence. Also
use 2 or 3 of the most relevant keywords associated
with your domain name. (These are found by using the
"TOP TITLE KEYWORDS" button.) For
example, if your domain name is BestMonkeyFood.com a good
title might read like this:
"Best
Monkey Food Is Your Monkey, Ape, Chimpanzee, And All Primate
Food Resource Site!"
IMPORTANT: Keep in mind that your title is used
in all search engine results.
Limit the title to 14 words or less. (Use all 14
words if possible.)
DO NOT BREAK THIS GOLDEN RULE!
Step 7. Preview - Hit the PREVIEW button. It's
time to Embark, and preview your new website!
When the Embarking process is finished you'll be
prompted to continue, and the Preview window will
open under your edit screen. You only need to look
at the HOMEPAGE to judge the entire website. Take a
good look and see if you like the results. You can
tweak any of your entries and hit FORCE CONTENT to
re-embark. When you're happy with the results
proceed to the next step.
Step 8. Publish -
You must hit PUBLISH for any new or re-edited
domain to go live or show your changes. EVERY site is
reviewed by a human being before allowed to go live to the
internet. You will receive an email from the system
indicating if your name was approved or denied. Please
Note: If the reviewer has left comments, you will see
this denoted in the subject of the email. Be sure to read
the comments. You may reply directly to this email if you
have any questions regarding the reviewers comments.
Step 10. Repeat steps above for
ALL the domain names you EMBARK! (Not park.)
IMPORTANT NOTES TO READ:
Please notice when
previewing your work what the machine provided for a
description based on your main keyword and Wikipedia. If it
did not populate the description, or you don't like what it
found, your options are as follows:
a.) Change your main keyword
and then hit FORCE CONTENT to re-embark and preview changes.
b.) Find any Wikipedia page that compliments your subject
matter, and copy the url in to the wiki field found by
pressing the MORE button, then the ADVANCED button. Hit
PREVIEW to re-embark.
c.) You can write your own description directly in to the
description field. We recommend a headline-like title, and
at least 2 paragraphs of on topic text.
d.) If you know basic html you
can use it in this field. Keep main table at 600 pixels wide
or less. Do not include ANY text, pictures, products, links
or anything that would violate TOS. ie: Adult, Alcohol,
Gambling etc.
OK, that's all. If
